The FIT'NG Trainee Committee is excited to be recruiting new members! It’s a great way to: ✨ Build your network ✨ Gain leadership experience ✨ Shape programming for trainees across the society Interested? Fill out our form by September 23rd: tinyurl.com/TraineeCommi...

@mariesantillo.bsky.social shows that 2 month old infant show significant activity in the MD cortex which is different from 9 month olds and independent of visual complexity

Dr. Anna Truzzi shares her fascinating findings on how baby brains exhibit longer timescales using both MRI and EEG!

Cliona O'Doherty present pioneering work relating awake infant fMRI data to adults and computational models of vision, with strong correspondence at 2 months of age!

Exciting new preprint from the lab: “Adopting a human developmental visual diet yields robust, shape-based AI vision”. A most wonderful case where brain inspiration massively improved AI solutions. Work with @zejinlu.bsky.social @sushrutthorat.bsky.social and Radek Cichy arxiv.org/abs/2507.03168

1/ New paper out in @commsbio.nature.com, led by @marinv.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1038/s420...! Across several past studies, we showed how newborns' degraded vision may benefit human development and inspire more robust deep networks. We have referred to this as Adaptive Initial Degradations (AID).

My paper with @stellalourenco.bsky.social ‬is now out in Science Advances! We found that children have robust object recognition abilities that surpass many ANNs. Models only outperformed kids when their training far exceeded what a child could experience in their lifetime doi.org/10.1126/scia...

Not just one, but two fantastic chances to discuss how infant development can inform machine learning and vice-versa at CCN 2025 in Amsterdam!!! Satellite workshop sites.google.com/view/child2m... and Generative Adversarial Collaboration sites.google.com/ccneuro.org/...

First morning in Brisbane! Looking forward to exploring the city before #OHBM2025 kicks off! Excited to be here to share my research on early MD network engagement in infants. Come chat at poster #1029 🧠🌎

Why do we not remember being a baby? One idea is that the hippocampus, which is essential for episodic memory in adults, is too immature to form individual memories in infancy. We tested this using awake infant fMRI, new in @science.org #ScienceResearch www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Don't miss our next FIT'NG Together event this Thursday, April 10th at 12pm EST where we will discuss a new paper on Hippocampal Encoding of Memories in Human Infants (DOI: 10.1126/science.adt7570) with @tristansyates.bsky.social and other authors! Register for FREE at: tinyurl.com/fitngtogether
